Hi everyone, A slightly late introduction from me! I bought my first drone in June 2023, a DJI Tello. I used to fly it around at work in Chichester until the local seagulls decided they weren’t too happy about sharing their airspace. The Tello survived a few attacks, but eventually had a rather bad crash and has never worked since! I’ve always been a keen photographer and lately used to wonder why so many camera backpacks were pictured with a drone in them. I’m also into mountain biking, and earlier this year I bought a Neo 2 simply to take with me when cycling. To cut a long story short, I now completely understand why camera backpacks have space for drones. In fact, mine currently contains hardly any camera equipment at all — just drones! I joined the club on 4 June this year, and the collection has already grown to a Neo 2, Mini 5 Pro and Avata 360. Looking forward to learning more, getting out flying and meeting everyone. ---

Check out [Good 2 Go](https://dronescene.co.uk/good2go) where you’ll soon find the answer 😊 > **[Good 2 Go - Can I fly my drone here?](https://dronescene.co.uk/good2go/)** > > Take this short Q&A to find out whether you can fly your drone in certain places, what separation distances apply, and whether you need to broadcast Remote ID. * * * Have you seen our [Members Map](https://dronescene.co.uk/membersmap)?

Feel free to [add yourself to the members map](https://greyarro.ws/t/members-location-map-a-guide/3652) too! * * * Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the #Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly. There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the #Challenges category for more information. * * * We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has [very powerful search features](https://greyarro.ws/search) which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the #Questions & Answers category. And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at [Resources for a beginner](https://greyarro.ws/t/resources-for-a-beginner/68167). Welcome once again! ---
